2017-18 Sandy Valley Boys Basketball Capsule

Head coach: Brian Kahre, 10th season

2016-17 record: 7-11 (1-7 1A Southern, eighth)

Returning lettermen (starters): Five (two)

Top players: G Brandon Eastham (Sr.)

Outlook: Eastham (7.3 points, 2.6 rebounds per game) returns to help lead a young team.

The Sidewinders return just five lettermen and were freshmen-heavy last year.

“We are a younger squad this year looking to build upon what we started last year,” Kahre said. “We have a great group of guys that are willing to work hard to improve. The team has set their goals to improve their teamwork and make the playoffs.”
